It recently purchased Dubbo Gardens (Dubbo) for $2.4 million and Ocean Grove Gardens (Mandurah WA) for $2.8 million. Ocean Grove consists of 44 units and if construction costs were $125,000 each its replacement value would be $5.5 million [excluding community facility costs].

Ingenia is targeting a 14% yield from Ocean Grove.
